If there is a positive allowance between the smallest possible hole and the largest possible shaft, the fit is known as

  • a transition fit.
  • a clearance fit.
  • an interference fit.

Explanation from PART66Online

A clearance fit guarantees a gap between the parts under all conditions, so even with the smallest hole and the largest shaft a positive allowance remains. If the largest shaft could exceed the smallest hole it would be interference or transition; a guaranteed positive minimum gap defines the clearance fit.
